Giving One Hundred Percent

7 minutes

Aloha and welcome to the Sobriety Rocks Podcast!

Today we talk about Giving One Hundred Percent.

Viola Davis said "Your ability to adapt to failure, and navigate your way out of it, absolutely 100 percent makes you who you are."

Recovery has taught me that we aren't forgiven just because we promise to be good from now on. We have to earn our way back, and giving everything we’ve got, one hundred percent, is the price.

My one hundred percent started with me admitting my addiction, then moved into a one hundred percent effort to go through all twelve steps while clean up the mess of my past life with everything I had.

I didn’t like it at first, but today it seems like a small price to pay to get to be whole again. Do 100% of the work with 100% of our effort for as long as it takes and we get 100% of the rewards. Forgiveness, understanding, peace, freedom, happiness, love, truth, hope, faith, community, light, joy, comfort, security, and so much more.

The beautiful thing is, when we do one hundred percent of the twelve steps, we're provided 'the elements of a living which answer all our problems', and more often than not, given a life that is far superior to the one we had before.

Today I choose one hundred percent. I want to be able to say 'I did everything I could. There was nothing more I could do. I gave everything I had, and my life is a reflection of that.'

How about you?

We close with a brief meditation to bring us peace and freedom.

Thank you for joining us.

Aloha!
